The Cary House Hotel, built in 1857,
was the vision of William Cary. The three story brick building was
the finest hotel in the gold country. The hotel, built with a brick
exterior, was as fireproof as possible, a unique quality in the old
west. Originally, the hotel had 77 guest rooms and a bathroom on
every floor which had hot and cold running water. The lobby was
elegantly appointed with a grand staircase and finished with rich
mahogany and cherry woods.

In the early years the Cary House was
a stage stop for travelers through Placerville. Nearly 90 million
dollars in bullion passed through the Cary House from the Motherlode
and the Nevada Comstock. Horace Greely once gave a campaign
speech from the beautiful wrought iron balcony.
After changing hands many times the Cary House was purchased by the
Raffetto Family in 1911. In 1915 the building was demolished and
rebuilt with the same bricks to become the Hotel Placerville. In
1926 the name was changed to the Raffles Hotel which remained until
the 1970’s when the Milton Family restored the historic landmark
to its original elegance and returned it’s original name ‘The
Cary House.' In September of 1997 the Cary Group LLC acquired the
hotel.
